Half an hour later, on the banks of Wu Lie River.

On the rooftop, there were silhouettes and marks of swords.

"Easy there, eh? Could you take it easy!" Lu Ran yelled, his feet stirring the Immortal Fog beneath him as he rapidly darted about.

But the North Wind Believer, like a persistent ghost, entangled himself with Lu Ran once more.

Wherever Lu Ran fled to, there would always be a Nightmare enveloping him.

"Ding!"

The Dawn Blade clashed heavily with the Wind Blade, the noise screeching.

Lu Ran only felt numbness in the base of his thumb and could not help but mutter,

"They coax you out here with gentle words, presenting everything so nicely!

And then the moment we meet, it's straight to torment, isn't it?"

Deng Yuxiang said nothing, her face expressionless.

She was clearly chasing to kill Lu Ran, but looking at her expression, did she seem dissatisfied?

Swiftly dodging, Lu Ran ignited the Immortal Hoof beneath his feet once again.

Deng Yuxiang was surrounded by a storm, shadowing him closely.

After several more rounds, Deng Yuxiang suddenly shouted, "I just can't believe this!"

With those words, her assault grew even fiercer.

Lu Ran was stunned!

Weren't you the one chasing me in a panic?

So why are you not happy now?

It had to be admitted, Deng Yuxiang was getting a bit worked up.

As the peak existence of the River Realm and a North Wind Believer known for her speed and blade skills,

how was it that she could not take down Lu Ran who had just entered the River Realm?

This spar was different from before.

Lu Ran had ascended to the River Realm, learning the Stream Divine Skill, which served as a life-saving talisman.

Thus, Deng Yuxiang no longer held back and targeted Lu Ran's Stream Divine Skill specifically.

But the more serious she got, the more she couldn't save face!

The lively Lu Ran was like a slap in her face.

"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness..."

Lu Ran was terrified, amidst the dense gleam of blades, he defended and dodged with difficulty, clearly stretched to his limits.

It seemed that before Lu Ran entered the River Realm, Deng Yuxiang was indeed very gentle.

Was she carefully nurturing a growing sprout?

Now, the little lamb was fattened, ready to be slaughtered!

"Whoosh!"

The woman wielded the Wind Blade with terrifying speed, slashing straight at Lu Ran's face.

Lu Ran sharply dodged to the side, once again invoking the "Touch" decision.

The Immortal Sheep Believer sounded the horn for a counter-attack!

He was determined to let this relentless North Wind Believer taste what it was like to be hunted by a Dead Soul.

"Zzt!"

That was the sound of the Silent Night Blade chopping against the woman's Stream Divine Skill.

"Pop!"

That was the sound of Big Nightmare grabbing Lu Ran's neck.

Lu Ran: "..."

In a way, the siblings shared similar fates.

They dreaded being serious!

Once you get serious, you realize... you're really not up to it!

Deng Yuxiang held Lu Ran aloft by the neck, lifting him high into the air:

"You're pretty fast, huh?"

"What kind of question is that." Lu Ran dropped his dual blades and grasped his neck, holding onto her cold, cold hands.

Deng Yuxiang tilted her head back to look at Lu Ran, squinting her eyes, "How are you so fast?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Indeed, he was excessively speedy.

Even Lu Ran himself was a bit overwhelmed!

Firstly, Lu Ran had ascended to the River Realm, and his physical fitness had dramatically improved.

Secondly, Lu Ran's Evil Technique·Evil Sensitivity had also advanced in grade, from Stream to River Grade!

That was the true culprit for the discomfort of both Deng Yuxiang and Lu Ran.

Just how fast was Lu Ran?

Even he couldn't control himself!

The fight ended abruptly because, at the moment, Lu Ran was also a bit dazed!

To say it out loud would surely be laughable:

I was caught because I was too fast.

I lost the spar because I became too strong.

"Little Lu Ran?" Deng Yuxiang gently shook Lu Ran by the hand as he remained unresponsive.

And so, Lu Ran, suspended in mid-air, swayed along with her motion.

"Can you put me down first?" Lu Ran patted her hand.

From her actions and tone, Lu Ran could clearly sense a slight change in Deng Yuxiang's attitude.

When Lu Ran was at the Stream Realm, Deng Yuxiang was more nurturing towards him.

Now that Lu Ran had ascended to the River Realm, sharing the same major realm as Deng Yuxiang,

his display of formidable strength made Deng Yuxiang begin to view him as a worthy opponent!

Under the subconscious influence, this made her more aggressive in facing Lu Ran.

"Mm..." Deng Yuxiang released her grip, also realizing her actions were abnormal.

As Lu Ran deactivated his Stream Divine Skill, Deng Yuxiang stretched out her hand, as if to make amends, and tidied up his wrinkled clothing.

The rooftop was silent.

The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

"No wonder Yan Zhi took a liking to you. Such physical talent is indeed what a First-class God Believer should have," Deng Yuxiang said softly, looking at Lu Ran.

She suddenly realized he had grown a little taller.

On the night of the fifteenth day of winter, when they faced each other, they were at eye level.

Looking at him now, he must have gained another centimeter, about 1.79 meters tall now.

"It's alright," Lu Ran said, seemingly modest but actually telling a frank truth.

"Just wait until I get used to the River Grade·Evil Sensitivity, until I utilize it to its extreme.

Then, I'll show you what it means to be truly fast~

And it's not just the Evil Dog Evil Technique·Evil Sensitivity, but also the Soul-splitting Demon Evil Technique·Soul Splitting Power.

In this spar, Lu Ran didn't even dare to use Soul Splitting Power!

Although it was possible to actively adjust the grade of a skill when casting, Lu Ran was new to the River Realm, already in a state of surging bodily attributes.

At this stage, he wasn't even used to his "new body" yet, so he hadn't been too reckless.

"Heh, you play coy even with an advantage." Deng Yuxiang gestured towards the swords scattered in the snow, "Pick them up."

"Let's fight again later; I need to digest this first," Lu Ran quickly waved his hands off.
